ADJUSTABLE PIPE HANGER. l

Application filed September 26, 1925. Serial No. 58,919.

My invention relates to improvements in adjustable pipe hangers wherein a vertically disposed bracket having a gooseneck on the upper portion thereof is arranged to be 8111- bedded withina concrete ceiling while said ceiling is being formed, and operates in conjunction with a turn buckle to adjust the position. of a pipe relatively to said ceiling.

. The primary object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved adjustable pipe hanger as a new article of manufacture.

Another object is to provide a new and improved device of the character described,

r composed mainly of standard parts, such as turn buckles pipe sections and caps therefor, and standard rods.

A further object is to provide a device of the type set forth which may be produced cheaply and which shall have a maximum efficiency. V I

A still further object is to produce a simple, cheap and effective adjustable pipe hanger by means of which a pip-e may be easily suspended from a ceiling at the re quired elevation or inclination, and also by means of which a pipe may be easily Fig. 1 is a broken elevation, partly in section, of my improved adjustable pipe hanger. also showing a portion of a concrete ceiling and a portion of the concrete form therefor; v n Fig. 2 is a side view of Fig. 1; and

Fig. 3 is a transverse sectionalview taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 1 in the direction in dicated.

Referring to the drawings the numeral 1 is used to'designate what I term, for purposes of illustration, a vertically disposed bracket having a screw-threaded portion 2 on the lower end thereof. The upper portion of the bracket 1 is provided with a goose-neck portion 3 whose outer'end 4 is arranged to lie upon the upper surface ofthe concrete ceiling form 6 and is provided with a suitable aperture 7 by means of rangement the goose-neck 3 is held in spaced relation tojthe said form 6 to permit the said concrete to flow around and thus embed the said goose-neck 3 to support the bracket 1 vertically after the concrete has set and the form 6 'has been removed.

Screw threaded upon the lower screwthreaded portion 2 of the bracket 1 I have provided a standard stirrup or turn-buckle 11 having an aperture 12 therein, within which aperture12 is" slidably and rotatably mounted a short vertically disposed standard pipe section 14 screw-threaded at both ends. To the upper end of said pipe section 12 is screwed a standard pipecap 16 which acts as a nut or bushing to rotatably support the pipe section 14 within the lower'portion of the stirrup or turn-buckle 11.

The lower end. of the pipe section 14 is screw threaded into a ring 17 which ring 17 is arranged to engage a pipe 18 to be supported.

In operation, after the forms 6 are in position and before the concrete 9 is poured, the brackets 1 are positioned by projecting the .vertically disposed portions 1 through suitable apertures 19 which have previously been bored through said forms at the required 1ntervals, with the free ends of the goose-neck portions 3 resting fiatly'up'on' said forms 6, with the curved or goosenecked portions 3vpartly in spaced relation to the bottom of the form 6 as disclosed in Fig. 1 of the drawings. The bracket is temporarily secured in this position by driving a nail or other suitable securing elethus embedding the curved or goose-neck portion 3 of the bracket 1 firmlywithin the concrete ceiling with the main or vertically a correct position.

'After the ceiling has set and the forms 6 disposed portion 1 ofthe bracket firmly in threaded portion 2 of the bracket 1. The rings 17 are next mounted upon the pipes 18 and the pipe sections 14 are screwed into position and inserted through the aperture 12 of the stirrup 11 and the pipe caps 16 screwed firmly into position. Or the pipe sections 14 may beinserted through the aperture 12 of the stirrup "11 with the pipe cap 16 in place and the lower end of said pipe section may then be screwed intothe ring 17.

- When the propel connections between the several parts have been made, the'position of the pipe horizontally or in an inclined position for drainage purposes may be readily adjusted by rotating the stirrup 11 until the'adjacent pipe 18 is in the required position.

The clearance between the, bottom of the vertically disposed rod 1 and the cap 16 is sufiicient to permit an upward movement of the stirrup 11 for adjustment purposes. This clearance also readily permits the removal'upwardly of the pipe section 14L and. cap 16 thereon when required. I

It is obvious from. the foregoing that I have provided a new and improved article of manufacture comprising an adjustable pipe hanger of maximum efficiency and adjustability and having few parts of simple standard construction which may be economically produced and replaced when required. i

Having thus described my invention what 7 ters Patent is 1. As a new article of manufacture, a pipe hanger comprising a vertically disposed rod 7 threaded at its lower end and having a lateral extension arranged to be embedded within a concrete ceiling; a turnbuckle screwthreaded to the lower end or" the vertically disposed rod; a ring arranged to engage a pipe to be supported; and means pivotally connecting the ring with the lower end of the stirrup whereby said ring may be adjusted relatively to, the ceiling when said turnbuckle is rotated upon the threaded rod.

2. As a new article ot' manufacture, a pipe hanger comprising a vertically disposed rod threaded at its lower end and having a lateral extension arranged to be secured to the inside of a ceiling form; a turnbuckle screwthreaded to the lower end of said rod and having .an aperture in the lower end thereof nature.
